As we all know, feudal dynasties are superficial, and the blood and violence behind them are all hidden under the so-called royal face. And the more things you don't want people to know, the easier it is to arouse the curiosity of others.
When it comes to the secrets of the royal family, it is the ancient Rome in the West that is the most amazing. The ancient Roman royal family, more than two thousand years ago, was known for its brutality, absurdity and shamelessness. Among them, the daughter of the royal family of ancient Rome is the most famous, Agrippina the Younger.
The younger Agrippina was born into the royal family of ancient Rome, his father was the brother of the ancient Roman emperor, and he held a heavy army. Her mother, Agrippina the Great, was the granddaughter of the previous Emperor.
Blessed by her royal status, she could have enjoyed her princesslike life without worry. However, when she grew up, she felt not the expectations and love of her family, but full of bloody killing and endless betrayal.
When she was 3 years old, her father had a lot of military merits, but his merits were high, which had already caused the emperor's dissatisfaction. So the emperor killed her father on trumped-up charges.
At the age of 14, little Agrippina was forced by her brother Caligula, causing her to lose her virginity as a girl.
At the age of 17, her mother and two older brothers wanted to avenge their father by assassinating the emperor. After the assassination failed, he was sentenced to capital punishment and was buried in the ground forever.
After this incident, the emperor still did not let down his guard against the innocent little Agrippina and her brother Caligula, but at this time the Roman royal family had withered away, the emperor's own son died unexpectedly, and his other brother had intellectual problems, so in the royal family, only the father of the little Agrippina was still healthy, and he could not personally destroy the last hope of the royal family.
So, in the end, only the three sisters of Agrippina jr. and her brother Caligula survived. Due to the changes they experienced when they were young, they also laid the groundwork for the decline of the Roman royal family in the future.
As the last reliance of the royal family, Karigula, who survived, was well aware of his importance and the ruthlessness of the emperor, so he behaved very obediently in front of everyone, without a hint of rebellion, which also made the emperor gradually let down his guard against him.
In 37 AD, the emperor died, and in order to prevent Caligula from dominating alone, the emperor designated Caligula and his grandson to inherit the throne together before his death. But this did not affect the ambitions of Caligula, who, after ascending the throne, changed his previous deference and first thing he did when he came to power was to kill his grandson to vent his anger.
Caligula's unusual behavior made all the princes and nobles begin to realize that Caligula was not superficially kind, but really cruel.
In fact, Caligula is not only cruel, but also addicted to beauty. After taking the throne, he began to extend his claws to his three younger sisters. This time, he didn't have to care about anyone else anymore.
However, little Agrippina, who has also experienced the changes in her family, is not a womanizer. Although she married a nobleman 25 years older than her, and the two gave birth to a son, she was not satisfied with it. She curry favor with her brother in the hope that her son would inherit the throne in the future. Caligula had already seen through Agrippina's little abacus and immediately refused.
The arrogant little Agrippina could not swallow this breath, turned to her brother-in-law, and promised that as soon as Caligula's necklace was sent, she would marry him immediately. Unexpectedly, her brother-in-law's assassination plan failed, and she was immediately sentenced to death, while she was exiled.
In 41 AD, Caligula's tyranny finally aroused the resentment of the Guards, who assassinated him. And the emperor was crowned with the emperor's uncle, Claudius, the younger Agrippina. That is, the mentally handicapped uncle mentioned earlier.
After her uncle ascended the throne, little Agrippina was able to return from exile. After returning to the palace, the little Agrippina still did not give up her ambitions, and she aimed the ladder to power at her own uncle.
She knew that her uncle also liked pretty girls, and his wife, Mesarina, was a great beauty. So little Agrippina tried to get rid of Mesarina, the thorn in her eye.
Soon, little Agrippina learns that Mesarina is an unruly woman who has separated from her husband on the grounds of handling official business during the day and has done a lot of things to apologize for her husband behind her back.
Once, claudius went out, and Mesarina actually played a game of "fake marriage" in the palace, and many of the people involved were princes and nobles. The little Agrippina soon spread the news to Claudius, and finally Mesarina was executed, along with many of the officials and nobles involved.
In 49 AD, Agrippina the Younger married Claudius, who became empress of the Roman Empire. Little Agrippina, who sat on the throne as empress, was not satisfied with this, and her ultimate goal was to control the entire empire.
She then persuaded Claudius to adopt her son as a stepson, with the right to inherit like the other princes. Not only that, but she persecuted Caligula's wife, Messarina's matriarch.
In 54 A.D., when Claudius was coming to the end of his life, little Agrippina brought him a bowl of soup to take, and he died. Because little Agrippina knew that he wanted his own son to ascend the throne, she made it stronger first, and when the succession was arranged, little Agrippina made the news of his death public.
Subsequently, her son Nero sat on the emperor's throne. Nero's newly enthroned foundation was unstable, and Agrippina Jr. used this to cultivate his cronies and expand his strength. Not only that, in order to expand her influence, she also printed the face-to-face portrait of herself and her son on the newly issued currency.
All this made his son Nero feel very dissatisfied and began to have other thoughts about his mother. Once, Nero, in honor of the goddess, invited his mother to a banquet on the water. The ship had long been modified by Nero and sank when it met the water. Unexpectedly, little Agrippina was familiar with water and escaped death.
Nero saw that the plan had failed and immediately sent the Dead To get rid of Agrippina The Younger. In 59 AD, Agrippina jr. was stabbed to death by a stray arrow. And her son Nero, due to tyranny, died at the hands of his servants in 68 AD.
At this point, the royal family of the Roman Empire was cut off.
And the little Agrippina, single-handedly, broke the family and became a sinner of the Roman royal family. Such a woman who has brought calamity to the country and the people has become a thorough "demon queen of a generation", leaving a stink for thousands of years, forever nailed to the column of shame of history by posterity.
